Many people love shrimp, but may avoid cooking them because of the time and mess involved in shelling. Since these shrimp come pre-shelled, preparing them is quick and easy!

Among other similar commercially available products, one often sees shrimp that have been treated for water retention or for coloration. Sugarlady’s shelled shrimp contain no antibiotics or chemical or artificial additives, including phosphate (which can be detrimental in large quantities but is sometimes used in other commercially available products to increase water retention).

Shrimp is a good source of vitamin A, zinc, and selenium. A large serving of shrimp will also take care of an entire day’s recommended intake of vitamin B-12.

How to prepare

Without defrosting, take the quantity of shrimp you will be using from the bag, place them in a colander, and wash away their glaze-like coating of ice by briefly running water over them. Soak the shrimp in approximately 1% salt water (500ml of water with 1 teaspoon of salt mixed in) to defrost. Pat the shrimp dry once they have defrosted.These shrimp can be cooked and eaten with dipping sauces as a finger food, or used in a variety of dishes from around the world including gumbo, fajitas, soups, and stir-fries.
